The 3230m is a SV part the 3317 is ULV. SV can generally keep the clocks up and is generally around 20-40% faster than ULV. If the two are the same price go for the 3230m (however if paried with a crappy gpu such as a 630m just get the cheaper one as the gpu is not powerful enough to cause the cpu to be a problem).

The 3230m is with a 2GB ATI Radeon HD7670m (Samsung np350v5x)
and the 3317u is with a 2GB nvidia geforce 630m (HP sleekbook g15-b002)
Im considering some medium range gaming + 2-3 hours of battery life ( normal usage )
